2.The vent must not be less than 7 ft above grade when located adjacent to public walkways.

3.Terminate vent at least 3 ft above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.

4.Vent must terminate at least 4 ft horizontally, and in no case above or below unless 4 ft horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.

5.Terminate vent at least 6 ft away from adjacent walls.

6.DO NOT terminate vent closer than 5 ft below roof overhang.

7.The vent terminal requires a 12 in. vent terminal clearance from the wall.

8.Terminate vent at least 1 ft above grade, including normal snow line.

9.Multiple direct vent installations require a 4 ft clearance between the ends of vent caps located on the same horizontal plane.

Canadian Installations

Refer to latest edition of B149 Installation code.

A vent shall not terminate:

1.Directly above a paved sidewalk or driveway which is located between two single-family dwell- ings and serves both dwellings.

2.Less than 7 ft (2.13 m) above a paved sidewalk or paved driveway located on public property.

3.Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of a mechanical air supply inlet to any building.

4.Above a meter/regulator assembly within 3 ft (915

mm)horizontally of the vertical centre-line of the regulator.

5.Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of any gas service regulator vent outlet.

6.Less than 1 ft (305 mm) above grade level.

7.Within the 3 ft (915 mm) of a window or door which can be opened in any building, any non-mechani- cal air supply inlet to any building or the combustion air inlet of any other appliance.

8.Underneath a verandah, porch or deck, unless the verandah, porch or deck is fully open on a mini- mum of two sides beneath the floor, and the distance between the top of the vent termination and the underside of the verandah, porch or deck is greater than 1 ft (305 mm).
